Matt Peterson is a world touring multi-instrumentalist, composer, music director and private teacher. Originally from Superior, WI, Matt grew up in a musical family with several Berklee College of Music Alum uncles and aunts. He discovered his love of music at age 10 after first hearing Jimi Hendrix and obsessively taught himself blues-rock guitar in a matter of months. Through his early teens he studied jazz guitar at the John S. Duss Memorial Music Conversatory under the instruction of Tom O’Hara. In high school he became enamored with the piano and later studied composition and counterpoint with award winning composer Tyler Kaiser at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, as well as joining the University Big Band and Jazz combos on piano under the direction of Professor Greg Kehl Moore.
